He was hoping for change... for a better place. Anyone is better than Dixie Carter! EY made a promise that he would be a fighting champion. He has done that. How he promises that this kind of stuff is not going to happen on his watch. If MVP wants to be World Champion he is going to have to take it from EY. If MVP wants a match with EY all he has to do is ask. MVP better watch what he wishes for as EY is crazy! EY is not waiting till Slammiversary! EY tells MVP to bring himself out there and they can fight right now. MVP is shown on the video titan tron as he is standing backstage. He tells EY that he is like the hulk or something. MVP is not about that kind of tactics of going out there and fighting. MVP didn't think EY would be World Champion. But he did win and it only sped up MVP's plan. He wants the belt. He is not about the suits and office type of guy. He is about being a champion as that brings money and power. MVP feels sympathy for EY so he is allowing him to keep the championship for a few weeks and then he is going to take it. EY then can be a nobody... and that is what he does best! EY gets back on the mic and says it is his title... and the fan's title. Tonight... he will fight MVP! MVP states EY better bring a bullet proof jacket as MVP has the guns. EY will have to go through his security as he doesn't fight for free and if EY can get through them then he will still not have a chance.

I posted this on my FB page but want to post it here as well – Here’s a question for everyone before the show starts! In TNA’s history, who has been your favorite running Impact? – MVP, Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Mick Foley, Sting, Larry Zbyszko, Jim Cornette, or Jeff Jarrett?

Jesse Sherwood

I’m going to catch Niflheim from KB for this, but Cornette. He was the most fair GM they have ever had.

David Jr.

can I say none of the above? There are only two on-air authority I’ve ever liked, Vince McMahon and Jack Tunney.

move that dope is satisfying me much more than TNA
then again
anything is better than them

Jesse Sherwood

Spud = Pinnacle of Fashion

Jesse Sherwood

So… What does everyone think about the “Indefinite Suspension” of Bobby Roode? To me, it just sounds like TNA needed an excuse to write him off of TV to save money.

David Jr.

Didn’t they just sign him to a new deal?

Jesse Sherwood

Last year. He has a year left, if I remember right.

David Jr.

Do you think he stays in TNA, goes to Double J’s or call Vince?

Jesse Sherwood

If anything, he’ll end up in GFW. WWE had little interest in him, last I heard. Which is a shame, as I always thought he could be the next HHH.

David Jr.

He’s 37 years old, I guess that’s probably why. Not saying it’s a good reason, just guessing it is the reason. Did you know that he teamed with Eric Young once on an Episode of Velocity in August of 2003 to face the FBI?

Jesse Sherwood

Yep! And he faced Sean O’Haire in a singles match.

Jesse Sherwood

Alright! KOs! And Gail is smiling! She is so pretty when she smiles!

gurl bye

i barely care about wrestling as it is anymore
TNA isn’t worth wasting my time on anymore
sooooo
gurl bye

Jesse Sherwood

Later!

David Jr.

So when Dixie Carter gets to 2010 Raw on the WWE Network, will we see Angelina Love and Velvet Sky carrying around a half of the Knockout’s Title each?

Jesse Sherwood

Probably. BAKA!

David Jr.

Is it just you and me now?

Jesse Sherwood

Corner-Face blasting Gail with the title is so predictable, it hurts.

Jesse Sherwood

And another reason TNA is ticking me off! The Menagerie is easily the worst idea for a stable I can think of! Kizarny+Wyatts=BAD IDEA. And to make it worse, they gave us such great vignettes to endear us to Knux before it! He could have been a decent solo babyface!

True, but you can argue that not all shows repeat their material verbatim every 6 months. Sadly, TNA’s storylines suffer from Groundhog Day issues. We literally see the same thing every 6-12 months. And as I said before, I loved TNA. But they are shooting themselves in the head here.

We talk about innovation in the business, and this is what I think of. The fact he has been off of TV so long is something I don’t like either, but it makes some sense. But his gimmick is quite refreshing.

CJ Blaze

Title match next!

Jesse Sherwood

Sanada is an amazing talent. He has the tools to be an incredible star.

David Jr.

I don’t know who’s theme I hate more DJZ or Cesaro.

Jesse Sherwood

DJZ’s. I hate the airhorn.

David Jr.

Who wants to see Eric Young vs. DJZ for the TNA Title? anyone? anyone? Bueller? crickets

Jesse Sherwood

*Walks out*

Jesse Sherwood

Dixie scared = Ratings

BlazeKing

Crazy Steve is getting a New Jack style match with the theme still playing!!!
(Yeah, I’m late watching the DVR!)

Jesse Sherwood

It was a bit odd… And the calipee style music is pretty rough to listen to for that long.

BlazeKing

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Jesse Sherwood

Gunner? That just went in an odd direction…

David Jr.

Knowing TNA, he’s going to end up as Gunner Shaw.

Jesse Sherwood

EC3… Trouble, Trouble, Trouble!

CJ Blaze

That trouble maker better email me haha

David Jr.

How did he get from Orlando to Nashville go quickly?

Jesse Sherwood

He was in Nashville the whole time!

David Jr.

Oh ok.

David Jr.

So Jesse, you predicted a “cabinet” for MVP by the end of the match, who’s in his cabinet?

Jesse Sherwood

Hmm… I have to go with Kenny King at the very least. Their feud was sudden and dropped very quickly, so it would make sense. As for anyone else, maybe Joe or Roode? Joe has been away for almost 2 months, and Roode’s suspension could be a smokescreen. Another missing name is Lashley. He hasn’t been on TV almost as long as Joe. Finally, we could always go Abyss. He seems to have no direction, so this could at least keep him on TV.

David Jr.

You got King and Lashley right.

Jesse Sherwood

Lashley was a guess, but King was just too easy. But this…. I can’t believe TNA is doing it again. How many times do we need to see a heel stable?

Jesse Sherwood

So far, a pretty good match!

CJ Blaze

And then there’s Kenny King

Jesse Sherwood

I hate to say I called it, but…

Jesse Sherwood

Kenny
Is
Not
Good!

Jesse Sherwood

And now Lashley! What is this, TNA’s NoD?

Jesse Sherwood

Yet again, we see EY beat down. We go from a paper champion to one who is laid out each week. BAKA!

Jesse Sherwood

Guys, I’m out. it was nice talking to you, and I’ll see you tomorrow night.
